But with trailing slash, it will match *only* directories (and not accidentally files with the same name). Another interesting detail is that ignore expressions apply for every subdirectory in the repo (recursive), but if you want to only match on a distinct path/level, start with a slash. For instance, for only matching the *directory* /foo at the *root* of your repository (repo/foo), use this pattern: /foo/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
